Many times we see in news and articles about market manipulation, after that i think, why this trend lines and indicators matters,

do institutions are also following indicators and trend lines? yes, manipulation but that manipulation is for liquidity grab.

but after all they also predict by trend lines and indicators? why trend lines matters?
Money grab, Fast crash, Manipulation?

These arent new things on any market including crypto space.There would be always those people who would really be sitting on the top of the spot or on peak place which they do have the capacity
on moving out markets according into their likes.This is where manipulation would really be that very common to happen but of course there's no way on spotting it out.
Once you do step your foot into this market then you should really be that able to accept on whats the risks.

Thing here is that you do know on how to ride with the waves or flow because if you do make yourself get affected that much with so much FUD.
On the time that you are really that getting sufficient knowledge and experience then you would be able to handle yourself into this market which it would really be just that normal
that you would be having some impulsive approach but once you do able to have that qualities then you could really be able to handle yourself.

Whales usually manipulate the market as they have huge chunk of the supply so they can create pump dump situation in the market.Suppose they start putting more investments in particular coin the trend lines for it will show profit to normal people but in reality they are fake pumps so when there is more investment they start cashing out and when liquidity is not there as they sell lot of coins the value goes down so it's manipulation.You should focus on coins working and why it's rising rather then investing solely because it's in the hype because most of the traders are unable to cash out fast when it's rising so it's more risk to them.
Manipulation is the trend in the market, most traders tends to listen to the trend instead of price actions. These manipulation are set by whales in the market inother to trapped average traders and move the market to their personal interest. Fake pumps are probably formulated for the purpose of luring traders to create believe that the bull market is here, it's only a glitch. I've been in that situation countless times, but my first experience, I lost heavily to the glitch because I sold all my coins and bagged altcoins hoping for a better pump, only to find out it was a glitch.
Indeed, it is unfortunate that a plenty of traders are getting manipulated by whales, this minority who own a huge  amounts of top cryptocurrencies( such as Bitcoin and Ethereum ) have the ability to control the market and cause pump and dump  whatever they want to , through moving their funds. In fact, the media news are also dominated by them. It is really important to make some researches before following the trend taking any decisions. Plus,  don’t believe any you see in social media, it is completely widespread with fake information , technical analyses and expectations. In addition to that, be aware of fake dumps and pumps. They be rising some digital currencies specifically shit ones with fake volume by purpose.

Market manipulation has occurred for a long time (a relatively long period), because there is a correlation between economic conditions and market pressure and, therefore, the rate of the manipulation is low (so we can assume that in the future the manipulation will become less and less) so when the market is going down and the currency price keeps dropping, market pressure on it will be more and more, which will push the trend line down and lower prices and will ultimately lower the price, however, because of this we have to be ready to adjust in the market situation.

Institutions use all the information that they have available to try to predict what the market may do, they use fundamental analysis to try to determine what it may happen, and then they use technical analysis to try to determine when this could happen, however big companies can afford to do this as they have the money and the human resources to do this, while someone trading on their own needs to pick one of those two trading styles as otherwise they will have no time to do some other activities that require their attention.
Any analysis that will be to their advantage will be used by them. They wouldn't just enter a market without being prepared, they're here to make money but it's bad for them that if they go ignorant without doing these preparations, they're just throwing all that they've got.
As these institutional companies have people that they've hired to do specific job descriptions as you've said, they've hired people that will trade for them and they're not just hired for nothing but they do background checking and have shown them real results for which these companies can capitalize and take benefit from.

Yes institutions use technical analysis for their trading signals. There are basically two camps of traders, one that focus more on fundamentals and the overall economic picture, and the ones that use past trading data to analyse for trends. Most companies these days will likely use a mix of the two and don't focus solely on one category. It's true that there is market manipulation, but I think in most cases it's only short term manipulation because it takes a lot of money and effort to pump or dumb prices for a long period of time. In any case it's advisable to always check our trading strategies and see how reliable the reading signals are. I would never rely on only one indicator to give me a trend. A mix of short, medium and long term indicators is the best way to not fall for a manipulated price.

Trendline matters because it aligns with the support and resistance. Support and resistance are basically highs and lows in the markets. Where the highs and the lows in the markets is where the order resides. Where the order resides is where you can find liquidity. That is when and where the liquidity grab occurs. When sell side liquidity taken before going higher, or inversely buy side liqudity taken before trading lower. That's how manipulation works. Usually correlated with multiple assets with news impacts.

Let me put it this way if I may, Structures exist only so it could manipulated, same goes for trend line, that's why they came hand with a general education of how you should trade and where your stops will be... The education make the retail a fodder. Yes market moves in trend but they can just move in and out of trend at their and that is BS.

The market capitalization of the market is what determines manipulation and you cant use the institution's way of investment to term your prediction because they mainly invest in the market for the long term so there's no need for prediction when the investment decision is for the long-term the only thing you need to make sure is that you're not buying at the ATH price.

Cryptocurrency is a manipulative market, I would say it is the most manipulated, even bitcoin is still being manipulated rather than based on supply and demand. Bitcoin has the largest market cap, accounting for almost half of the market cap, so it can be said to be a bit more difficult to manipulate than shitcoin.
As a manipulated market, so I always tell people not to trust technical analysis too much. We can use technical analysis, whales can also use it to see the market situation. But we don't have much money, and whales are people with a lot of money, so they can make the market move at will.
I do agree that bitcoin is harder to manipulate using money, because not that many people have billions to manipulate the market easily. However, we should also remember that alts could change the market as well, such as Luna crashing to zero thanks to someone spending less than half a billion dollars, still a lot of money, but the price of bitcoin went super low because of that, meaning something like 300 million could drop bitcoin price indirectly as well.

Or FTX bankrupting is a good example as well. All in all there is also media, such as Elon saying something that makes doge go up but btc goes up a bit those days too. So it is still manipulated, maybe indirectly via other coins, but that doesn't mean never.

That is all you can see in the market and traders make this a factor decide of what they gonna do next. It really matters of course as it gives us traders hints as to rather go along with the trend created by these manipulators rather than go against it.
If you are exposing yourselves to trading, you can really say how important it was in dealing with this volatile market. Too hard to predict without basis and so with the help of these things charts, trade lines, etc...you'll somehow make way better at achieving your goal.

For all such things and to avoid get hit by manipulation techniques made by those institutional investors you should learn to settle up with the profits you are already accumulated. And never believe on the fuds and hype they created since you might get caught empty handed if you keep following what those guys do. Its important for us to stick our own plan and execute it very well, although there's nothing bad to follow with the trend but you make sure everything is falling good in your hands.
Exactly, one of the best ways to avoid being manipulated is simply by ignoring what you can find on the internet about the movements of the market and only rely on yourself and the analysis you have made of the market, and while no one is perfect and we all make mistakes that posture is way better for the development of a trader an investor, as even if you are wrong this will give you insights about why this was the case and you will be able to make some important corrections to your analysis, which will allow you to eventually improve your skills as a trader.

Until now, there is still manipulation happening in the market and that will not go away, each individual trader is arguing about how to perform technical and fundamental analysis.

And the indicators are still used by most traders, even the trend line, those are important and they help a lot anyway, not even 100% but I'm sure the chances are more than 50%...

It is better not to choose those and stick to Bitcoin. Check the history, you will know.

I think it is better for people who have doubt on certain projects to stick with bitcoin because the history of bitcoin is there open to the public and the information contained on the past records are not hidden. They say the devil that you know is better than the angel that you don't know. This is very important to avoid being scammed by projects only out to get investors money with no value and soon disappear out of the circle of cryptocurrency.

Trend line and this kind of news to manipulate the market has no effect on the long run. It's just a small-time pump or dump scenario. This kind of FUD only has effect on newbies and those who are unable to control their emotions. Do you think they do this for fun? No, they have their own benefits in it.

But if you are going to hodl for a long period of time, you can see that this kind of manipulation doesn't work. This is why is it important to see the past and present of price chart and get a good understanding on what the future holds. What are the those cryptos that can be manipulated, you may ask. Only those which are centralized. It is better not to choose those and stick to Bitcoin. Check the history, you will know.

Even without those news and articles about the market manipulation, trend lines and indicators are already there long time ago. They are part of trading and trading analysis. They are very important that every professional traders are using them in order to improve their trading performances but it is still great if you just realize their importance lately although it's normal for a newbie in trading to disregard them at first as they look complicated and we all know the newbies, they always rush to do trading and make a quick profit.

Institutions are mainly investors but if some of them are into trading then yes, they use indicators and trend lines too because they are professional.

that's the thing with general trading individually, you just like going against the waves, the whales are the one that directs the current scenario of the market and how it plays out, you as an individual traders could do nothing but just seeing some opportunities along the way.
the market is manipulated indeed, but there's nothing you can do because honestly everyone would always find some ways to manipulate basically giving themselves advantage in every investing market, so I'd say, even technical analysis is rather futile attempt but at some case it still works.
in conclusion, the market heavily manipulated, and what you can do is just riding the flow, hopefully you could score some real profit along the way.

Is technical analysis working as such now? Manipulators know everything about technical analysis and can manipulate technical analysis at any time. One figure looms in front of us - and in the blink of an eye, that figure turns into another figure - one that no one expected. So, as they say, we have to think both ways.

Manipulation mostly occurs with coins with a low market capitalization because usually the number of coins will be monopolized by only a few people, sometimes even developers, although they don't say it honestly, are the ones who hold the coins with a big enough percentage so that they have the ability to manipulate the market for their own benefit. But coins with a large market capitalization will be difficult for the market to manipulate unless it is an institution that has the ability to do so.

Maybe manipulators will spread disturbing news if they want to make a coin with a big market cap move wildly because it causes panic among traders.

So maybe the way to look at it is that no matter manipulation or not, eventually markets behave in a way that makes sense when using TA.

But TA is always a future look at the past. That is what people forget, that it only predicts future by looking back.
TA provides an overview based on history or existing data.
This will refer to predictions that might happen again in the future.
TA is not always correct, but trend lines will always be read by TA.

In addition, TA is also combined with FA which will provide a real picture of market conditions.
Manipulation occurs because it is influenced by many factors and with FA traders can find out and analyze using TA.

TA and FA will always be used as benchmarks to determine trends that will occur,
so no matter how well the manipulations are carried out, they will still be detected.

This really matters if it works for you then. Why not try it OP in order for you to know how it affects your trade results until it wasn't tried otherwise, it was just a sort of blaming.

Since you know about manipulation OP and being a trader, we must have to go along with the trend and do analysis from it. If that still confuses you and still losing, then better find another way to solve it. And besides, we can't just take the bait, some manipulators are planting it to attract newbies so we need to analyze the market movement so well.

Remember when a lot of media and individuals on twitter etc began looking at 2017 bull run and a lot of people agreed that it was mainly market manipulation that drove price almost 20x from 2016?

Those times, trendlines and analysis all made sense anyway.

So maybe the way to look at it is that no matter manipulation or not, eventually markets behave in a way that makes sense when using TA.

do institutions are also following indicators and trend lines?
As far as I know, indicators and trend lines are irrelevant to institutions. What matters is determining where traders often place their stop losses in order to influence them. Typically, manipulation can be noticed in price movements that produce equal highs and lows.

Quote
why trend lines matters?
Trend lines are important since they know how long they will keep their assets before closing their positions. Regardless of the trend, they can still manipulate both ways.

Insider trading and market manipulation, even if forbidden, are part of any market, however the best way to lessen their effects is to only trade or invest on markets which have a high volume, this way it is more difficult for those market manipulators to move the market as they wish  and even if they try the less effective those maneuvers will be and the less time it will take to the market to recover, so while those whales can execute those kind of moves, it is not as if they can do them with exposing themselves to a very high risk as well.

Trend lines and indicators I believe will be always there as you are trading.
So, if you are just a normal trader without any knowledge on manipulation then you will have hard time to learn the market and make your speculation, then that's the time the trend lines and indicator will come, it will help you to analyze and do your technical analysis.
Applying trend lines is for wide windows like 1-week, 1-month charts. People make mistakes by using 15-min, 30-min, 1-hour charts to find trend lines. I don't say what they draw are not trend lines but those lines are for short term, short term trend lines. Hence, if they rely on those lines and let their position opens too long, those things won't match each other and their position will no longer be benefited by the trend line they draw and use.

That's why don't focus only on technical analysis doing such indicator lines and graphs, sometimes trends and events have also an impact on the market and that's fundamental analysis IMO.  Trend lines and indicators can be useful tools in analyzing the market, but they're just one part of a larger trading strategy.  By using a variety of tools and strategies, traders can make almost accurate results but take note, it isn't 100% have a guarantee.

I think it's generally an ideal decision if you invest and wait for the market with a long-term investment strategy that takes into account a range of factors, including fundamental analysis, market news, and technical indicators, rather than relying solely on short-term trends or attempting to profit from market manipulation.  It's most likely you will fall into the trap of short-term investors.

Manipulators may not need indicators or drawing of lines, what they simply do is to work on the psyche of public and people hodling the project. They organise people to their telegram or other social media and they throw in fake news there which can make people decision to invest but unfortunately they will lose because the handlers will cash out first as soon as they begin to notice surge in price.

Manipulators also monitor the market, and they coming at the perfect timing at the cost of every real investors. Most of them are just trying to take profit always but of course, creating panic can also make them lose money. This has been the trend with crypto, every time the market goes up you can expect from them to start spreading fake news or FUD. Well, you have to learn how to ride with them and continue making profit, its not easy but its worth it once you already knew how it works.

They will not insert their manipulation technique when market is doing good since their attacks will never work as this one will get buried by hypes covered up by good events happen at that time. So mostly they trigger this up when the market is not in good shape to trigger up something bad which is more beneficial to those manipulator. We see this trend line happen and it repeatedly happen for so many times, so instead of freaking out on situation like this its better to ride them up to gain something in return.

Market manipulation can happen with two things:
1. If you have lot of money, so much that it can contribute to enough pump or dump. Sometimes also called as bulls and bears of the market. The later term is highly popular in the normal share market (non-crypto).
2. If there is government based manipulation or powerful influencer or rich person whose statement matters a lot to the general public.

Let us pick any of them, we can say that it is insider job. The manipulation is actually a illegal activity and its NOT THE WAY to give with it.

We have live example of this and almost the whole world experienced it - Elon-DOGE manipulation. Everyone was into it and got sucked up as if they were getting into the black hole. No escape.

Everyone kept putting money at various prices. That was the perfect manipulation of the market. However, the result? It was disastrous and many people lost alarming amount of money with this.

Better yet say its worst trap for the regular traders like you and me. Understanding it within time is the best practice to follow.

spotting this will help you avoid such market. just like what you have given as an example. the doge market. however, a lot of people are still jumping on it for the hope that they will get high profits. well, we can't stop them but they should know better. the risks involved in venturing this kind of hype or manipulation.
the one who's manipulating the market don't care whether a small trader is losing his life's savings or not. so long they are gaining from it.

They just can't ignore the trends and they also read the market charting. So, they're playing by the market and at the same time, they've got plenty of money for market manipulation based on what they've got and that's through making some news and articles.

No doubt that this has been one of the best approaches and ways that they can do in the market to make it move and manipulate it. It has been done years ago and truly effective to make such movement if they have to.

They're making it look like they're conducting a study to the market and the behavior of everybody through negative/positive news that they release through the media.

but after all they also predict by trend lines and indicators? why trend lines matters?

The news and media does that  to earn their own share of income, it's pure business my friend. In a real trading environment the trend lines and indicators matter a lot, without those you will be trading blindly and that will cause more losses. The news is full of propaganda and trusting them with closed eyes isn't a good choice.

Many institutions are following the indicators, but they are also doing the game of manipulation by tying up with news channels and sites, to make others believe in a coin that they own. These tactics will work with the coins whose market cap is not so high.

Whales and other big investors and hedge funds are known for manipulating the market. But, if you choose better coins with a proper plan, and working strategies then you can earn from the manipulated markets. Hedging works best in such scenarios, and if applied correctly you'll earn enough profit in short term.

Institutional investors are like small investors. They can be pro institutional investors or they can be stupid institutional investors. Like Terra, Voyager, 3Arrows Capital and more. You can not say institutional investors are always right with their methods and decisions.

Trend lines are important because we know a trend is a friend. Furthermore, when you use trend lines, you are simplifying things for your view but it is wider and more general than using too many technical indicators.

Good investors will focus on fundamentals first, then trend lines.

If manipulators also need trend lines then they actually haven't completely dominated the market. What I think is, they'll just cause a greater volatility effect quickly and make the best of the momentum before other traders arrive who will overcome their capital strength.

The more the market capitalization of a coin, the lesser the market manipulation of the coin.

Let us take bitcoin as an example, owned by many people in the world and also having a market capitalization of over $500 billion now. To manipulate a coin like that, I mean to manipulate a coin like bitcoin, it would be difficult.

A coin that is just listed on exchanges, or that is control mostly by whales, like 40 to 70% or more controlled by whales. Such coins can be manipulated. That is why it is good to go for good coins like bitcoin that is difficult to manipulate.

Indicators and other things used for technical analysis are good because traders use them and they have better accuracy. This does not mean that you should 100% believe on indicators because they can also fail, although many professional traders are using them and showing satisfying results.
